Mr H. 0. Cameron, who has had charge' of the, produce department of the High Commissioner's Office for the last 16 years, has, under the re-arrange-ment scheme of Hon. Thomas MacKenzie, been transferred to the emigration department, and in that capacity is responsible for the selection and shipment to the Dominion of persons who are coming out under the immigration scheme. Lecturing now occupies a great part of Mr Cameron's time: and, judging by the report in recent Scottish newspapers, he is "making good" in his new role. Mr Oameron_ at the end of /November visited Monikie and Kirkcaldy, where he attracted large audiences, to whom he imparted useful information concerning the products of the. Dominion, and by means of limelight viewa of a varied kind was able to convince his hearers that all the adjuncts of modern civilisation are to be found in the principa towns of the Dominion. At the close of his Monikie address Mr Cameron gave an elaborate exposition of the Defence Act, and proved that New Zealand's defence scheme had the support of the great bulk of the population" in that it encouraged self-reliance, and trained youths to bear arms only for the defence of their country in case of external attack.
